Rep. Barbara Lee of California stated she skipped President Trump’s State of the Union Address since the Republican has “denigrated” the workplace of the presidency.

“I have attended every State of the Union even when George Bush was president and I totally disagreed with him on every issue,” Mrs. Lee, a Democrat, stated at a ladies’s-led “State of Our Union” match, which used to be held on the National Press Club as Mr. Trump spoke blocks away to a joint consultation of Congress.

“I may now not attend this night as a result of of President Trump’s forget for our democratic establishments and his dishonor of the workplace of the president. He has now not commemorated his workplace,” she stated. “I can’t normalize nor condone his agenda and what he has done because he has denigrated this office.”

Mrs. Lee accused Mr. Trump of peddling lies, bullying political combatants and “fanning the flames of racism, sexism and bigotry.”

Mrs. Lee stated the “resistance” towards Mr. Trump is being led by means of ladies and suggested them to stick engaged heading into the 2019 midterm elections, announcing “an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.”
